PFGE diversity within the methicillin-resistant
Background Livestock has recently been identified as a new reservoir of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Most isolates belong to ST398 and are non-typeable with PFGE using SmaI, making it difficult to study transmission and outbreaks ...

Genetic patterns of Streptococcus uberis isolated from bovine mastitis
The aim of this study was to evaluate the genotypic relationships among 40 Streptococcus uberis isolated from bovine mastitis by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Additionally, the association between PFGE patterns and virulence profiles was

Evidence that the 36kb plasmid of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae contributes to virulence [PDF]
Swine dysentery (SD) results from infection of the porcine large intestine with the anaerobic intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. Recently the genome of virulent Australian B. hyodysenteriae strain WA1 was sequenced, and a 36. kilobase (kb)

Molecular typing of MRSA isolates by spa and PFGE
Abstract Background Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains circulating among populations and crossing borders constitute a major problem for health control and require a fast and simple genotypic approach. Methods In the current study we compared staphylococcal protein A (spa) and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing methods to
